“Robert Morgan has crafted opening lines that lure the reader into the immediacy of the experience … The experience that the most intellectually resilient readers are most likely to remember with admiration and delight is “Judaculla Rock,” an achievement that reminds me of Cormac McCarthy’s last and finest novel, Stella Maris … Morgan’s impressive intellect and artistic achievements may [also] be experienced in his 11 novels, including Gap Creek.” — David Madden, The Phi Beta Kappa The Key Reporter, Fall, 2023
